Honestly @GeoffGrammer if you get bored of the sports beat writer thing. I think you have a future as a YT Shorts content creator featuring event in-game promotions, find the NM Flag not in NM, replay means #drink and more.
Tnen we will all Salute your Shorts.
I don't know how they do it, but the UNM game day promotions crew just keeps finding needles in the haystack.
There may only be 47 people in the entire world who don't know how to play Tic-Tac-Toe, UNM consistently finds them at Lobo basketball games. (first of this season here).

And here comes the “No Thanks, We’re Good” Bowl Scramble Portal!
FSU, OSU, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida or USC miss the @CFP, get a @BowlSeason invite & basically pull a Notre Dame: Who moves up? Who takes their spot? Which conference tie-ins get scrambled?
How many bowl matchups can one “thanks, but no thanks” actually change? We got a taste last year when the Iowa State & Kansas State declined, helping send New Mexico to the Rate Bowl (@thecactusbowl) against the Minnesota.
Now let a few so-called big names say “thanks, but no thanks” & jump into the Bowl Scramble Portal. Let’s see what comes out of the postseason portal! Last season, at least 10 schools “thanks, but no thanks” three at .500 or better & seven at 5-7.

The Eck Express is NOW!
This is what we’ve wanted, craved & been jealous to see others have it.
Enjoy the right now with @UNMLoboFB .
Take it all in, every score, game, howl, win & emotion. ALL @UNMLOBOS deserves to enjoy this moment.
Don’t look past it.
There is NO time to look down the tracks for tomorrow
Enjoy the @Coach_Eck Express. Live in the now. #BosUp #GoLobos
What if it were already in place THIS year?
Play devil’s advocate: @BroncoSportsFB wins out & @UNMLoboFB wins out. Under the 12-team format, the Lobos, 99% of the time would be outside looking in. Under 24? That changes.
Since 2014, G5/G6 teams finished with 2+ in @CFBPlayoff Top 20 six times: 4 yrs w/two & 2 yrs w/three. So two G6 teams in the Top 20 isn’t some wild dream.
The highest-ranked G6 team gets the automatic bid, with 19 at-large spots still available. If Boise & UNM are both up there, one getting the automatic bid doesn’t shut the door on the other.
The caveat is scheduling. The P4 still has to play us. We need those games, we need to win or keep them competitive & we need those opponents to stay good.

This would be a howl! @BarstoolGruden energy & hype with @Coach_Eck swag & pirate-like quotes, combined the personalities, pure cherry! Also add in Cindy & Kim (@BeautyBabesBall), the best coaches wives in the game.
Get Gruden into @ThePitUNM for a @UNMLoboMBB game with Eck. Hand him the mic & let him fire up the place. Next thing you know, Gruden might be in the @NMLoboHowl section. Get the four of them together for some Albuquerque time. Sandia Tram, New Mexican food, stories & the coaches’ wives’ side of the coaching life too.
THE MUST: Get Gruden around @UNMLoboFB practice with Eck & get out of the way. Turn him loose on @UNM main campus, the @UNM_FM & the @UNMBookstores for some Lobo gear. Let him meet other @UNMLOBOS, like one of the BEST programs in the nation @UNMLoboXCTF & Lead Lobo AD @RyanDBerryman! Add in @BirminghamRay talking @NewMexico pride (a Champ to represent NM), with Gruden, it could be as good as any sunset on the Sandias.
Saturday is #BosUp time. 5:05 am in the 505. @jakemalasek & Gruden out before sunrise with @UNMNorthEndZone Howlers & the Lobo diehards. @LouisTABQ presents him with a sombrero & Gruden being Gruden with the #RealOnes.
Then let it build from the tailgate to the Lobo Walk & eventually Gruden all over University Stadium. Give him the mic to get our Bos Up & then let the howl machine loose. Lobos win, Lobo Nation goes wild. Pure cherry & silver cinema with a championship state of mind.
And to end it all, Gruden presents Eck with the Turquoise Influencer “Championship Belt.”

Arrr… Ask @Coach_Eck, a question & there’s no telling where his sword will swing. Sometimes, Eck quotes get a little Leach-esque. The Pirate was a gift to the sport & his sword will keep swinging for us all. @Coach_Leach " you achieved it, that was YOUR 100%.”
Eck’s swinging his own sword at his own 100%, from fast food by the bowling alley to Michelin-star dining. Where’s Eck’s 100%? Who knows. But a reservation at the playoff table would be a heck of an achievement.
Fast Food vs. Steakhouse
Step up in competition vs @SoonerFootball
“They’re gonna be a challenge. We’re definitely stepping up in class. It’s kinda like we’ve been going to, like, fast food restaurants to eat. Now, all of a sudden, we got an invite to the nicest steakhouse in town, and you’re checking your wallet to make sure you have enough to cover it cause you don’t want to be embarrassed.”
Cameras caught his fiery sideline reaction following @UNMLOBOS Pick-six vs NDSU.
“A good reminder that the camera adds 20 pounds. It also adds some rage.” Big Sucker Context: Before a game describing NDSU QB N. Hayes “..is a big sucker (Midwestern for a big dude). Who can throw it well and move.”
The @EAMaddenNFL Injury Logic
Explaining an injury substitution against NDSU.
“If a guy gets injured on Madden, you've got to make a substitution. It comes up on the screen, like your starter is usually a 90 (overall grade) and your backup's an 80, but because of the injury, the 90 guy is down to 78, so the backup's a little better than the guy with an injury. So you go with that.”
The Bowling Pin Toss
After @UNMLoboFB became bowl eligible
“They gave us this little bowling pin, and last year, it was kind of a big deal... This year, we got it and I showed it (to the team), and it’s good. And then I threw it on the ground... I love @BowlSeason
games, but we have our sights set (higher).”

Some say it’s card counting. @Coach_Eck call's it #ChampionshipBehavior. The Lobos have hit Blackjack not 1..2..but 3 times. The only way for the Lobos to bust was being ranked at #22. Now they’re sending the house for the Lobos.
@UNMLoboFB keep playing your game, don’t get greedy, double down or overthink it. It's all business & playing Lobo FB we will hit the house hard & @unm
will stand above.

Did you let your precious Diego Pavia on your court...
and he had an accident 💦💧💦
News:
NM State announces the parquet basketball court for the Pan Am Center is not going to be ready for the start of the season.
If you remember, the original parquet court was damaged by moisture 11 months or so ago and the Aggies were playing on a backup court since then.

Cleo " I'm a fighter.. @UNMLoboFB team they're.... Fighters... being a lobo is being part of Albuquerque being part of New Mexico being part of something that you believe"
In his own way following the footsteps and legacy Celo created his Lobo welcome rug is a sombrero.
@LouisTABQ is continuing your legacy of "being part of something that you believe "
Cleo Hughes was the biggest Lobo Football fan I ever met. Was somehow always on the Tarmac to greet the team.
Watch this. This is why this season is special. Cleo’s final three years saw us go 3-33. He was always there.
Still is.
